This study identifies peripheral immune and metabolic tissues as key contributors to Alzheimer's disease genetic risk, independent of brain-specific factors.

This study links obesity and type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer's disease through genetic and transcriptomic analyses, identifying shared pathways and potential drug targets.

This study identifies 282 genetic loci associated with insulin resistance through multi-trait GWAS, highlighting adipose-specific and systemic regulators and potential therapeutic targets.

This study identifies chondroitin sulfate as a potential therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes through genetic and preclinical evidence showing its effects on glycemic control and insulin action.

This study uses Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of smoking on abdominal obesity, finding positive causal effects on waist-hip ratio and visceral fat.
